NAME
ddi_dma_devalign - find DMA mapping alignment and minimum transfer size SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/conf.h> #include <sys/ddi.h> #include <sys/sunddi.h> int ddi_dma_devalign(ddi_dma_handle_t handle, uint_t *alignment, uint_t *minxfr); INTERFACE LEVEL
Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI). PARAMETERS
handle The DMA handle filled in by a successful call to ddi_dma_setup(9F). alignment A pointer to an unsigned integer to be filled in with the minimum required alignment for DMA. The alignment is guaranteed to be a power of two. minxfr A pointer to an unsigned integer to be filled in with the minimum effective transfer size (see ddi_iomin(9F), ddi_dma_lim_sparc(9S) and ddi_dma_lim_x86(9S)). This also is guaranteed to be a power of two. DESCRIPTION
ddi_dma_devalign() determines after a successful DMA mapping (see ddi_dma_setup(9F)) the minimum required data alignment and minimum DMA transfer size. RETURN VALUES
ddi_dma_devalign() returns: DDI_SUCCESS The alignment and minxfr values have been filled. DDI_FAILURE The handle was illegal. CONTEXT
ddi_dma_devalign() can be called from user or interrupt context. SEE ALSO

NAME
ddi_iomin - find minimum alignment and transfer size for DMA SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/conf.h> #include <sys/ddi.h> #include <sys/sunddi.h> int ddi_iomin(dev_info_t *dip, int initial, int streaming); INTERFACE LEVEL
Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI). This interface is obsolete. PARAMETERS
dip A pointer to the device's dev_info structure. initial The initial minimum DMAtransfer size in bytes. This may be zero or an appropriate dlim_minxfer value for device's ddi_dma_lim structure (see ddi_dma_lim_sparc(9S) or ddi_dma_lim_x86(9S)). This value must be a power of two. streaming This argument, if non-zero, indicates that the returned value should be modified to account for streaming mode accesses (see ddi_dma_req(9S) for a discussion of streaming versus non-streaming access mode). DESCRIPTION
The ddi_iomin() function, finds out the minimum DMAtransfer size for the device pointed to by dip. This provides a mechanism by which a driver can determine the effects of underlying caches as well as intervening bus adapters on the granularity of a DMA transfer. RETURN VALUES
The ddi_iomin() function returns the minimum DMAtransfer size for the calling device, or it returns zero, which means that you cannot get there from here. CONTEXT
This function can be called from user, interrupt, or kernel context. ATTRIBUTES
